It's never too early to start thinking about hitting the beach -- especially if you're considering making a vacation of it.

TripAdvisor recently put out its lists of the best five beaches in the world and the best five in America. The rankings are based on the quantity and quality of traveler reviews and ratings for beaches gathered over a 12-month period.

Even if you don't have plans to visit one in the immediate future, grab a Mai Tai, kick your feet up and take a look at the amazing photos. They're listed in reverse order, from fifth best to best, first for the world, then the U.S.
